Acting VC of the university, Prof Rosemund Green-Osahogulu, making a speech



Acting Vice Chancellor of the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Professor Rosemund Green-Osahogulu, has called on the academic community to proffer solutions to the socio-economic and socio-political problems facing the nation.

Prof. Green-Osahogulu stated this at the First Anniversary and Orientation of fresh students of the institution’s Faculty of Humanities. 

She noted that the faculty has made giant strides within the past one year since it was created, expressing the hope that it would continue to positively impact the society through the quality of its academic work, charging the lecturers to always do what is right.

The Vice Chancellor, however, challenged students of tertiary institutions in the country to stand up against every form of injustice in the nation’s university system, urging them to take concerted action aimed at ridding the system of perverse activities, saying “when intimidated shout,” adding that “it’s time for students to have the boldness to expose injustice done to them by lecturers and other staff of the university”.

In her Welcome Address, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Mrs. Rosetta Da-Wariboko, noted the invaluable role to the Humanities to the development of society and entrenchment of societal values, expressing the hope that the achievements of the past one year will serve to bolster the university’s drive at improving educational standards.

In his paper, Strategies for Effective Studies at School, Head of the Department of Curriculum Studies and Instructional Technology, Dr Nayeiyi Agina-Obu, said the need for effective study methods by students have become imperative in order to ensure quality and quantity of behavioural change, stressing that “students must always be reminded that discipline and hardwork have no substitute”.

In the second paper, Grading System and Computation of Degree Results, Mr. Matthew Okeremeta of the Department of History and Diplomatic Studies, informed the freshmen that the university’s Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) computation method in use in the faculty is a universally accepted computation guideline, adding that it enables departments, faculties and the university to monitor students’ performance, urging them to work hard to make good grades and graduate in flying colours.
